Christopher Nolan's Superman

Wait, read that title again.

Savior it.

Yes, the man who brought the Batman franchise back from the depths of perdition is talking about Superman.

Two things to note though. One, the current plan is to do it after the next Batman. And two, Nolan dosen't think a crossover would work.

Alien 0 Update.

Because it's gotten the most response, here's an update on Alien 0.

According to IMDB, it's still 'in development', Ridley Scott is listed as director, and the current relases date 2011. But there has been no news since July 2009.

I still think its a silly idea.

Dramatic Control

Yet another "NEW FEATURE" coming soon is Dramatic Control, a series of articles on how to roleplay in combat. It's a reaction to Method Actor type players that just say "I attack that guy" while in combat.

WHAT?!?!

Ok, it sounds neat...pro-football where we could seem to just reach out and catch the ball

But don't directors spend time setting up 3-d shots for max effect. Plus, I don't think I want to wear 3-d glasses at home.

Hmmm, can you gimmick?

RPG of the week-Pandemonium!

In an effort to get off my lazy butt to update my blog, I am starting a new feature. I taking one gaming product off out of my collection and doing a mini-review and maybe some adventure ideas.

First up, is PANDEMONIUM! Adventures in Tabloid World.
Author: Stephen Michael Sechi
Status: Very very out of print.
Genre: Modern Comedy

Pandemonium takes place in a world where the supermarkets tabloids are 100% factual and the PCs work for one of tabloids as investigators. They hunt down weird stories all over and report back to their paper to be printed.

The game system is barely there. Maybe if had more crunch the game would of done better. Thankfully though, its the only drawback.

Following one of the great unwritten rules of comedy, the book is written in a serious tone even when dealing with silly things. The art is black and white pasted together photos or old public domain images that really capture the cheesy tabloid feel. The sample adventure introduces the world quite well and, Heck, it has Elvis so it must be good.

But the true value of tha game is the section "The Encyclopedia Paranormal". It contains comprehensive list of tabloid subjects. It would be quiet an addition to any GMs collection if he deals with weird games.

There was one supplement released called "Stranger then Truth!", with some currently big names as authors.

The adventure idea, The PCs are sent to Las Vegas to investigate a case of Evis impersonators spontaneously bursting into flame at a local seedy night club.
